I have nothing to do so i made another:

I got bored and made this:

The .pkg"->ncu is new to me. I have used Packtype (and occasionally Packager) for years, but had never heard of the other utility. Thanks for the lead.

The name of the application you want is called, with the quote marks ".pkg"->NCU just as stated above, its drag and drop and works flawlessly. Its easily one of the greates…

Wonderful, thanks!

You probably need the packager or packtype utility, for which Google is your friend. Something happens in the download these days, even on MacOS9, which corrupts the file. Very si…

Oh, well... i knew he would nuke it sometime... ...Which is why I kept a backup!

Because it's easier just to nuke it, rather than weed out what ever's not PD, freeware, or shareware. :-/

I have often heard the claim that the Apple /// was intentionally crippled, usually for marketing reasons and always with the implication that it did not have to be done. But is t…

Apple used to brag at the time that the /// was a 16-bit machine because there was a state machine appended to the 6502 to handle 16-bit words and the data buss fetched 16 bits at …

[i'll make a scan of it. Click to expand... May you live to be a thousand years old, sir!

I second this - hopefully we can find someone with enough spare time to scan the entire book. Click to expand... "Macintosh Hacker's Bible" is apparently available from a libr…

I guess I'll have to dig the old Mac out of the closet and put the 64K ROMs back in it. I was under the impression that the 1.4 drives only worked with the SWIM chips, and didn't r…

It's been a while so my memory may be fuzzy, but I got my first Mac at work in Nov '83, and bought my own Mac in May '84. A bit later Apple came out with the first 3.5" Apple][ dri…

The original Classic was released as part of a line-up which also included the LC and the IIsi. All three of the machines were intended for the low-budget market: Classic as the ch…

I find it odd how Apple went from expandable SE/SE30's to a Classic 2 with no expansion whatsoever. Click to expand... Maybe stupid, but not odd. There's a simple explanation w…

A 128 can read & write to an 800K external drive. A 1.4 drive won't work. When I got my Mac in 1984, one of the first upgrades I made was to stick an 800K mechanism from an…
